About a month after our bad experience with the Keselman Group, the president of the company called…read moreus to apologize for the behavior of our project manager. He assured us that that conduct was not considered acceptable by the company and that it had been addresse. He also offered to do the project if it was still possible. Although we had found another contractor, it meant a lot to us to hear an apology.

We've had work done by the Keselman Group a couple of times and have been extremely happy with…read moretheir work! The process could not have been smoother, from meeting with the in house designer all the way to the day to day work on the project. Our project manager kept us up to date daily letting us know when and what would be done and checked in regularly. There is a true sense of pride in the work done! Highly recommended!

I've had some bad experiences with contractors in the past, but this was by far the worst. It began…read morewhen during our initial meeting, he called me a "potty mouth" in my own home in front of my family. Despite that, I did not expect the frustration, sexism, and rudeness that continued while working with him. We hired him to create built in bookcases among several other contracting tasks. I offered to show him pictures of what we wanted, but he declined to look at them. When I asked him for a sketch, he told me it was a really simple design and he didn't need to do that. When my father called, he agreed (a pattern where he would not listen to me, a woman, but would listen to my father.) Well, eventually. He first needed to tell my father that the rest of what he'd been hired for would not "be worth it" for him to do if he didn't do the bookcase project for us. He also felt the need to say that he's been doing this job for 30 years and he does great work. I guess he couldn't stand his competency being questioned, but anyone who needs to say that and can't prove it by their actions and the way they treat people? Yeah. After that, an architect came out with Joseph to look at the space and work on a sketch. During that meeting, I asked again if he wanted to look at pictures of what I wanted, but he declined. I tried to explain verbally, but that also went poorly. For example, I asked if he could install a shelf above the television, and he told me that was impossible and would look terrible, which was baffling to me as this is pretty common. After trying for several minutes to explain, and receiving very dismissive and hostile comments from Joseph, the architect took pity on me and tried to explain to Joseph what I wanted. When the architect explained it, Joseph agreed that was probably possible and he guessed he could do it. After this meeting, he told me that he'd call in a few days to schedule a time for install. When I hadn't heard from him, my father again called and he promised he'd get the sketch to us within 10 days of the original meeting. After 11 days, I call him to ask what's going on and he tells me it'll be a few more days, but he can give us our deposit back. He's not very nice throughout this entire phone call. I call him the next day and ask for the deposit back because frankly I'm tired of the sexism and rudeness, and don't trust him to do good work for us anymore. He seems to have changed his tune as he now tells me he doesn't understand what the problem is since it's only 2 days after he said he would get the sketch for us, "But if that's what you want to do, fine," and hangs up on me. He calls a few days later to say the check is in the mail and to assure me that "I don't have a problem with giving this project up." He does not apologize or give any indication that he's caused us any hardship or treated us poorly, but no surprise there. During that call, he also mentions that he may need to charge for the sketch if it has already been started. Apparently, it is now finished (amazing how money can motivate), and charges us $150 for this, which is ridiculous given that every company I've been interviewing since has given this to us for free before we even hire them. Also, if he had the sketch already, why couldn't he just give it to us on time? Joseph called back a couple hours later, which I didn't answer because I was frankly tired of the verbal abuse. Joseph is associated with both HLF Construction and North Coast. I would never use him or any company associated with him given the abysmal way he treated me and my family during this process. Forget the $150 he wrongly charged us, I'd just like back those 4 weeks of my life where he did absolutely nothing and treated me horribly. Save yourself the money and the trouble- he and his companies are NOT WORTH IT!

After being under severe stress to get my repairs done, and before getting estimates from other subs, I reluctantly agreed to Zelle him money for "materials and some labor". Thankfully, before he started, I had another estimate with a more reliable contractor who went ahead and purchased the materials and send me a photo of the receipt. David's "materials costs" were $600, per his proposal and $800 for labor. The better contractor showed a receipt from Lowes for $70 for ALL MATERIALS!! Additionally, the contractor I went with only charged me $400 for labor!!! I immediately requested a refund from David, which he agreed to. Two days later, no refund. I texted him a few times, didn't hear anything back. I even texted him this review, no response! I will now have to file a claim with my bank. He is a total ripoff artist, liar and hounds potential clients until you agree or block him. DO NOT HIRE HIM!! BEWARE! He did no work and isn't willingly giving me my money back! $800!!!! Crazy. He shouldn't even be on Yelp.

Recently, Marcus and his group completed a total rebuild of our master bathroom.  This rebuild…read moreincluded the removal of everything in the bathroom (tub, shower, vanity, etc).  It was replaced with a new custom shower (shower head, body sprays, wand and rainfall shower heads), new jetted tub, the relocation of the commode, transforming the old shower into a new closet, the installation of a heated, tiled floor, new vanity, and lighted mirror.  All of this was completed in approximately 7 weeks.    Upon completion of the work, there was an issue with the heated floor. This issue was resolved by the team in short order at their expense.   The end product completely exceeded our expectations. Further, the team was professional, easy to work with, and a joy to have in our home. We are very excited for the new bathroom and could not be happier.  We are excited to have them back for future renovations

Five years ago, we had our home renovated by Anthony Slaubaugh. From the start, it was an easy and…read morewelcoming project. They worked with us to develop our plan, make our choices, and follow an explicit schedule to the date and time indicated. We were very impressed with all levels of professionalism. Every person who entered our home treated it and us with respect. They left areas clean & tidy and wore shoe covers when walking through areas needing to be worked in. They undertook a comprehensive renovation, completely transforming three major areas of our home. Thanks to their expertise, we now enjoy a new laundry room, two stunning bathrooms, and a bedroom with walkout access. Our home has been truly transformed, and we couldn't be happier. Fast-forward five years, and we had some plumbing issues. Devastated and worried, we called Anthony. They stand by their product! Within 30 minutes, they had someone fix everything at our home (even though we no longer had our warranty). I didn't know companies and people like this existed anymore. We are beyond grateful for the kindness, professionalism, and beautiful work that Anthony and his company have provided us.

My husband and I are planning to remodel our en suite bathroom. Slabaugh was the first company I…read morecontacted because I live nearby, and I had been following their work on Facebook. Although I was concerned that much of their work, though seemingly well done, was all very similar and somewhat generic (all gray and white), I know that's trendy now, and I figured I'd seek some reassurance that individual (and more creative) tastes could be accommodated. I spoke to the project manager who was responsive enough ... at first. He asked what I was looking for in a contractor and explained the process from design to installation. Everything sounded exactly like what we were looking for. And then ... I asked what the average cost for an en suite bath was. I had already done my research, which revealed that the average cost ranges from $18,000 to $25,000 (according to HomeAdvisor). Because of supply issues, I expected Slabaugh's answer to be a bit higher, but I certainly did not expect the project manager to quote a cost double that! He told me that I could expect to pay just under $60,000! I should also note that this estimate was provided without actually seeing the space. When I expressed surprise by this number, I was NOT provided with any explanation. I wasn't told that supply chain issues had increased the cost by 100% or that they used only top tier materials. There was no explanation about paying subcontractors or difficulty in finding qualified workers. Instead, I could almost hear the shrug over the phone as the project manager said, "Maybe we're not the right fit for you," a comment I found dismissive and condescending." Even so, I suggested that maybe my husband and I could stop by the showroom. I was thinking that perhaps I could get a more satisfactory explanation in person. That's when I found out that's it's only open four days a week until 5 and not at all on weekends. As someone who has a job, I explained that those times didn't work with my schedule. "People work," I said. "What do they do?" He silently shrugged again. "They take the time off." So, if you're looking to spend $20,000 more than you have to, if you want want to be dismissed and condescended to, if you want to adjust your schedule to the company you're hiring, then this might be the company for you. I, on the other hand, found a much more pleasant company with which to work, whose quote (after seeing the space) has come in at between $30,000 and $40,000. The company is still very local and has an amazing showroom. So far, they've been easy to work with and they treat me like I actually matter.

This was a significant, complex project and they delivered a result that is truly our dream come true -- and due to changes in my schedule, they adjusted to accommodate and finish an entire month ahead of schedule. Donna was an absolute force as our project manager. Her attention to detail was exceptional -- nothing escaped her eye. She kept the project moving, stayed ahead of every milestone, addressed our every need before we ask, and consistently went above and beyond what we could have expected. She is professional and exceptional in all details of the project, making sure options were presented and detailed correctly. Aretha, our designer, listened and understood our vision. She assisted with our selection process which then made the vision come to life in ways that exceeded our imagination. And Tony -- as the owner of the company, remained personally involved throughout the entire process. That level of commitment from the top says everything about the culture and character of the Perrino organization. Beyond their professionalism, these are just wonderful people -- warm, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in their clients. And the craftsmanship? Among the finest we have ever seen -- their tradesmen are simply superior in skill and execution, and it shows in every detail of the finished product. Every accolade we could offer still falls short of the full picture of how remarkable Perrino Custom Builders was in every stage of the remodel. Whether your project is large or small, do not hesitate to reach out -- you will be absolutely blown away by what they deliver.

We contacted Perrino in 2021 about reworking our detached garage space. It required a $2500…read moreretainer that would be put towards the build of the project. We went back and forth several times (as seen in attached emails) that the drawing measurements were not correct and our contact there agreed. While still not having correct dimensions, we were quoted $123,00+. We decided to pause to save money and work to getting the correct measurements. I contacted them in September to see if we can finalize the plans and move forward. Knowing pricing would have changed but we have saved to do this job. As you can see in the emails, we were offered a few options to move forward; one of which is paying another $2500 to the same company which didn't make sense to us. We asked to speak to an owner and Pat did reach out immediately. He clearly doesn't know the job or the situation as he said in asking to move house walls and we need new plans. I said it was detached and we never had correct plans drawn. He said they supplied plans and it's not his fault I'm unhappy and that picky. When I said we are just off by a few feet with this building he offered to come out. He asked for our address and then said we are far out and they are very busy so he wasn't sure he would continue with us as a client. I said you took our retainer and now you won't work with us? He said he would come out and see and I asked if I needed our lawyer present since he is refusing to work with us. He told me he will not come if a lawyer is present and I said ok, just us and he hung up. I sent an email recap and he finally emailed my husband. After $2500,we don't have plans for a garage after several basic attempts and a company that took our money no problem.
